This research presents a critical and conceptual review of the main relations that Architecture has established with Meteorology to emphasize its continuous transfers and overlaps, its many common places and phenomena, and the presence of a subject that inhabits both the earth and under heaven. We talked about a sky constituted by air, physical and symbolic material of which both are nourished without being exclusive of either one or the other. An air that, breathed by men, transfomrs the atmosphere, architectural and meteorological, into an enveloping and integrating shared landscape that links art and science, phenomenon and experience, space and time. A "built" landscape, artificially modified, intentionally or not, by society in its habitation in the world.
In a time marked by the urgent need to revise our relations with an ill-treated environment, it has not yet been possible to produce profound formal, typological and spatial transformations due to culture and architectural aesthetics that lead to a true integration of the notions of progress and sustainability that reconciliates the world of science and technology. The incorporation of meteorology at the heart of architectural thought as stated in this thesis could then be understood as a way of claiming the important role of architectonic discipline as a mediator between air and energy gradients or , in other words, what is the same between activities Of humanity and the cycles of nature.
For the development of this research, a cross-talk has been proposed around a series of fundamental concepts for the science of the air and so are those that work with the space inhabited by man. It has been tried to show the suggestive and unexpected relations between two "specialties" that have been much closer than we have believed. From more scientific and technical aspects to other aesthetic and cultural, the history of architecture will overlap with meteorology one to show the important influence that the atmospheric phenomenon has exerted on the architectural project design and on the experience of space over time. The atmospheric environment is analyzed by an architect so it is subtly different from the object of study of the meteorologist since, as such a landscape, atmosphere it is ineluctably linked to the gaze that man makes on it and therefore to its subjective, cultural and Historical. The atmosphere is a landscape perceived, felt and breathed; A landscape to which the subject is incorporated physically, physiologically and emotionally.
It is in this context that a sensitive weather view attentive to the air, could discover us new territories, landscapes and opportunities for an architecture based on the consolidation of the relationships between nature, artifice and society.
